I asked the local game store about help to but the connections for my PS2 to play online....sounds like he don't lnow what he's talking about! Just a quick question what other part do I have to buy to play PS2 online. I know you gotta have internet as you all know got that. But what other connection piece do I gotta buy? Because the local game store has like 3 diferent things you can use....

modem for ps2?

Yeah, there's a modem thing you have to buy for the ps2...the new ps2 (the skinny one) has it built in.

So a modem?

Go to a game store and ask for the ps2 modem thingy....lol

Ring Ring

Store- Game World How may I help you?
Me- Do you have a modem thingy?

Store- A what?

Me- A modem thingy?

Store- ummm What do you need?

me- A MODEM THINGY!

.......beeeeeep beep beep beep beep.


Maybe I should have explained more better...

its called a Network Adaptor and it costs around 50 to 60 bucks

Yeah, you need a network adapter.
You should also get a router; it's not required, but you'll have to do a lot of plugging/unplugging of cables every time you play if you don't have one.

make sure u have a fast internet connection caus eif u dont u r gona lag alot and get dropped from games and if u get a router make sure if it has a firewall that u know how to turn it off.

also, you MUST have Broadband or Ethernet to play games. if you have anything lower, then you wont be able to play games at all.

I believe some older games (Twisted Metal Black online?) have some limited online play with a dial up connection.
But for the most part you do need high speed internet.

The Ethernet you speak of is not a service like Broadband its the port on the PS2 that your Broadband connects into

In Short you need an Ethernet Cable and Around 512Kb Download and Minimum 128kb upload Connection

Alright as soon as I get money in a few weeks I'm going to go buy the parts at the store.
